Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 16th January 2022
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. In a sad week for local politics, the deputy Mayor-designate has been stripped of all titles, privileges and honorifics. Following his decision to defend himself in court against goat-nadgering and weasel-trafficking charges, the Council decided that it was no longer appropriate for him to act as Colonel-In-Chief of The Vize’s Special Boat Services, chaplain to The Underprivileged Knobheads Association, and Lord High Influencer of The Feckless Society.
2. And a forty-fifth scandal has hit the inner workings of the Council’s Ways And Means Committee (WAM). In further revelations, on top of the BYOB party scandals, a whistle-blower has revealed that WAM members have frequently been seen on brewery tours, pub crawls, wine-tasting events and lock-ins at the Bend-Me, Shape-Me Club on the High Street. Despite frequent denials that anything untoward took place, and copious apologies for the things that didn’t take place taking place, or at least being found out to have taken place, rumours continue to circulate. One member of WAM claimed that a recent after-hours lock-in at a local hostelry and knocking-shop was actually a “work-place event” and that he hadn’t realised that anyone there was enjoying themselves in any way.
